Three days later, the haze that had shrouded the Great Week for more than a few days - the case of mutilating the young woman was finally solved. The facts of the case were announced as follows: A witch woman who had practiced witchcraft for many years, who had cultivated an immortal body for herself, needed the blood of the young woman for food and drink, and had been mutilating many women in a secluded place for many days, and has now been corrected.

Ling'er got goosebumps when she saw it, and said secretly, "Could this be the evil magic of gods and ghosts that has been passed down by the people, and it is also thanks to the fact that King Narui can arrange it." Ling'er was looking at the notice with black lines on her head, and suddenly felt someone pull her sleeve behind her, and turned her head to see King Heng standing behind him with a smile.

Ning Yiheng turned around and walked out of the crowd, and Ling'er took Qingxi out of the crowd and followed.

The three of them turned around and arrived in front of a restaurant that looked very grand and bright, and Ling'er looked up at the plaque "Hongxing Building" with three vermilion characters hanging high on it. I often went to places with bright lights in my previous life, but it was the first time to come to such a place, and I couldn't help but speed up my steps with anticipation in my heart, and I entered the restaurant side by side with Ning Yiheng like a gust of wind.

Mu Chenfeng, who was standing in the private room upstairs, saw the two of them coming in so intimately, and they all looked like brothers and sisters. Ling'er is dressed as a man today, dressed in white, with white ribbon wrapped in hair, and a folding fan in her hand, although it is late autumn, but she feels that if she does not have a delicate folding fan in her hand, the aura is obviously not powerful.

When the shopkeeper saw King Heng coming in, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Wang, please, Master Mu has been waiting for you for a long time." Then he led the three of them to the private room upstairs.

As soon as she entered the door, Ling'er clenched her fists and said to Mu Chenfeng: "The eldest brother has been waiting for a long time, and the younger brother is polite." ”

Mu Chenfeng shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "My family, you don't have to be polite!" ”

I only heard Ling'er's nasal voice, "Hmph!" ”

Ning Yiheng only had nothing to do with himself, and sat next to him and drank tea leisurely.

Ling'er opened her mouth and said to Mu Chenfeng: "You're embarrassed, I've done you so much help, I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I said that I gave gifts, what about gifts?" After speaking, he swept King Heng with his eyes, and almost choked on the tea that King Heng had just drunk, and secretly suppressed it with a little luck, otherwise it would be really swept away.

Ling'er was looking forward to the two of them giving her a big gift, but after looking forward to it for a few days, Mao didn't have one, and it was really angry to meet today.

In fact, Mu Ning and the others planned to hold a banquet to entertain Ling'er today to express their gratitude. But the guard who had sent him to ask for someone came back and said that the master and servant were not in the hospital. Ning Yiheng pondered for a while, and thought that where to stay with Ling'er's temperament, she must have wandered around, and what attracted her in the capital at present was the place with the most people, and it was very easy to find her.

King Heng hurriedly said indifferently: "Today, I set up a banquet with Brother Mu to thank the second lady for her advice and help Da Zhou eliminate harm." ”

Ling'er rolled her eyes, "Who is rare, maybe the wine and food here are not as delicious as the ones I made, let's have something practical." Seeing that the two of them were stubborn, Ling'er simply made it clear that his busyness was not in vain, and he almost lost his life, is it easy. Besides, Ling'er also figured it out, her father doesn't hurt in this world, she doesn't have a mother's love, she doesn't grab more silver in her hands, and she will be blind if she is swept out of the house one day. And one of them is a prince, and the other is rich and young, and they are not bad for money, and they say, don't be in vain.

Mu Chenfeng looked at Ling'er with a delicate appearance, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the second miss wants to do practically?" ”

Ling'er immediately said, "One thousand taels of silver, bring it!"

Mu Chenfeng gave a look, and the guard next to him immediately respectfully gave a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Ling'er was shocked, originally felt that it was a bit too much for her lion to open her mouth to ask for a thousand taels, but now looking at people's refreshment, it can be seen that she is less. I regretted it a little in my heart, and glanced at my eyes: "Give me the jade pendant on your waist too." ”

Mu Chenfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud no matter what, and pulled down the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Send you, if something happens in the future, take out this jade pendant and maybe it can help you." ”

After Ling'er finished searching Mu Chenfeng, her eyes looked at King Heng again, and her intention was self-evident.

King Heng has always liked to be unrestrained, so he rarely takes the guards out of the house, and he doesn't bring a lot of silver taels on his body, so he doesn't wait for Ling'er to speak, so he said: "The second lady can go to my Heng Wang's Mansion another day to get it, and this king will not be less than Brother Mu's reward." ”

After listening to this, Ling'er couldn't help but wonder, "I really made a lot of money today." In a good mood, he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Er serves the food." ”

Ling'er was happy, and the jokes on the dinner table in her previous life were poured out one after another, and the two handsome guys laughed so much that they were eating, just watching her eat, and the three of them were happy at the banquet for a while.

At this time, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Liu family was looking at Ji Qian with teary eyes: "Master, you see that Ran Er is already sixteen, if you delay like this any longer, it will be even more difficult to marry in the future." ”

Ji Qian has been cried like this by the Liu family many times, although he is upset in his heart, it is not easy to reprimand, after all, he is also his daughter. Secretly thought to himself: "King Rui has made a great contribution to solving the case of assassinating a woman in Beijing this time, and the emperor has just crowned the second rank of the royal king, which is already one grade higher than that of King Heng." If he secretly supports him in the future, with the wisdom of King Narui, he will win the holy favor, and then become a great treasure will definitely be just around the corner. Isn't this the opportunity you've been waiting for? ”

After thinking about it, he said to the Liu family, who was still crying: "Tomorrow, the prime minister above the court will force King Rui to be promoted to another level, and you should be ready to deal with the invitation of King Rui's mansion." ”

When Liu heard that Ji Qian was really willing to help with his daughter's marriage this time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The concubine understands, and the concubine will arrange it." ”

The next morning, the prime minister of the dynasty, Ji Qianli, recommended King Rui to serve as the lord of the imperial history. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Imperial History was equivalent to a member of the first rank, responsible for supervising the hundred officials, accepting the affairs of the hundred officials on behalf of the emperor, managing important national atlases and classics, and drafting edicts on behalf of the imperial court, etc., with considerable power. The intention of the prime minister's move can be seen, the civil and military officials are all looking at each other, and there are the cronies of the king of Narui, so they naturally praise the prime minister in unison for his insight.

When King Heng's faction saw that King Fang Rui was favored at this time, he was afraid that saying too much would help him succeed, but no one said anything. All the people looked at Emperor Xuanwen to see what the Holy Lord was planning to do today.

Emperor Xuanwen was in power for decades, and he had practiced Mount Tai in front of him and did not change, sitting on the main hall, looking down at the hundred officials below, although his face was silent, his heart had already churned up in the turbulent waves, and he said for a long time, "King Rui is less careless, I am afraid that it is difficult to be competent, and he is temporarily named the Lord of the Imperial History, if he makes meritorious achievements, he will be formally appointed." ”

Even so, it has also shown that Ning Qirui has received the great trust of Emperor Xuanwen at this time, and for a while, King Rui is grateful, and it is needless to say that the hundred officials congratulate him.

The next day, Concubine Mei, the most favored concubine of Ruiwang's Mansion, invited the Prime Minister's Lady to visit Yanbo Lake at night.

In Liu's room, Ji Ran said anxiously at this time: "Mother, the smoke-soaked five-color skirt I made last time has not yet been delivered, what is the child wearing this time?" ”

Liu said pitifully: "Just you, so many clothes, which one can't work, do you have to be that one?" ”

Ji Ran pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

Liu Shifang said: "I know that you take this matter seriously, but this time you must pay more attention to etiquette in front of King Rui and the princess, and you can't be so willful as at home." ”

Ji Ran said meaninglessly: "What a princess, it's just a side concubine." ”

Liu shook his head helplessly, this daughter was spoiled by her.

finally waited until the sky was a little dark, Ji Ran had already dressed up and waited, only to see that she was dressed in a thin gold silk smoke and emerald green veil, a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt mopping the floor, and her sideburns were obliquely inserted into the double phoenix sweat beads and golden steps.

Seeing his daughter like this, the Liu family had a little more confidence in her marrying into the Rui Palace.

That Ji Feng, Ji Xue'er, Ji Bing'er and Ji Min are also dressed up in a show, but the quality of both clothes and beads cannot be compared with Ji Ran.

The Liu family took Ji Ran to the first carriage, and the rest of the two took the carriage behind them in pairs, Bing Xue rode together, Ji Feng and Ji Min rode in the same car, needless to say, and the maid and woman followed, heading towards Yanbo Lake.

When I came to the lake, the painting boat of the Rui Wangfu had been waiting on the shore for a long time. Seeing the arrival of the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Concubine Mei personally came out to greet her. The two parties saw each other, the maid served tea and snacks, and the Liu family gossiped with Concubine Mei, and the little sisters were difficult to come out, and they all watched the night scene next to the window. That Ji Ran only glanced at Concubine Mei, and then looked around to find King Rui, and after looking around, there was no figure, and he was extremely disappointed.

Suddenly, I heard Concubine Mei say: "The prince heard that the concubine invited the prime minister's wife to visit the lake today, and he came over to say hello to his wife later, so as to fulfill the gift of the master of the palace." ”

The Liu family was polite, and Ji Ran was already overjoyed when he heard it, and secretly thought, "I must let him fall in love with himself today." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard an announcement from outside the painting boat: "The prince has arrived!" ”

Liu Shi and the others hurriedly led everyone to stand up and salute, not wanting Ji Ran to be out of the world, at this time, he was startled, stepped on the skirt and fell down, and secretly shouted in his heart, "Oops!" ”

At this time, I saw a pair of slender and powerful hands suddenly helping himself up in front of him, Ji Ran looked up, "Isn't this the person I've been missing for the past two years?" Since that day, when I met in Xiangguo Temple, I can no longer forget it, and my cold and arrogant eyes and warm lips are really stupid. ”

King Rui suddenly saw the beauty in front of him, his heart moved, and he still said coldly for a moment: "Take care, eldest lady." ”

Ji Ran hurriedly stood up and tidied up her dress. Liu watched the performance of the two, with a faint look of satisfaction on his face.

Everyone saluted again, and King Rui sat for a while before leaving, and at the moment he went out, he unintentionally glanced at Ji Ran. Ji Ran's face turned red, how could he still care about anything else, he just wanted to go back to the house early and let his mother go and talk to his father about the proposal in the palace.

Seeing that today's goal had been achieved, the Liu clan stopped for a while after the meal and left with everyone.

At this time, in another painting boat not far away, Ling'er, Ning Yiheng, and Mu Chenfeng were enjoying the moon with wine, so happy.

Ling'er said: "It's strange that you are the king of Heng, the king of Rui wants to get closer to the prime minister's mansion, and you are still here to drink and chat with us, not afraid that the throne will fly?" ”

Mu Chenfeng also said: "Brother Heng's situation has not been good recently, King Rui has been promoted to the rank of knight one after another, which can be described as a high voice of the people and a stable official position. ”

Ning Yiheng glanced at Mu Chenfeng and said, "This also has the credit of Brother Mu, isn't it?" ”

Mu Chenfeng smiled helplessly, although his father took over the last business of Xunyinlou, he also facilitated it, so he owed Ning Yiheng a little bit.

Ling'er was calm: "We are also eliminating harm for the people, otherwise I don't know how many innocent women died in vain." ”

Ning Yiheng thought about it for a while, and said: "The second miss doesn't plan to explain the situation to your fiancé, no matter how late it is, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will become the concubine of the Rui Wangfu." ”

Ling'er snapped open the folding fan and said: "Excuse me, how free I am now, who wants to go to the Ruiwang Mansion to rob men with so many women." ”

Ling'er didn't mean to say it, she also knew that it was normal for men in this dynasty to have three wives and four concubines, so she would not usually say such things in front of these two people. said it inadvertently today, and the two big men were stunned for a while.

Ling'er looked at the two of them like that, and said speechlessly: "It's a big deal not to marry, anyway, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile." ”

Mu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Why don't you think about Brother Mu?" I'm not married. "Although Mu Chenfeng is already twenty years old, he has a very high vision, is playful, and has no certainty. Helplessly, how the old man and the old lady urged the owner of the voice-seeking building, there has been no suitable one.

Ling'er snorted coldly and said secretly: "Just your prodigal appearance, maybe how many green hats I will wear in the future." Mu Chenfeng listened to Ling'er's words, he was very funny, and he just wanted to open his mouth to debate.

Ling'er said slowly: "Didn't King Heng say that Princess Tranquility has always belonged to you, I don't dare to rob the princess of her husband." ”

At the mention of Princess Tranquility, Mu Chenfeng suddenly lost his confidence. Princess Tranquility is brutal and willful, and she may not be able to force herself to marry one day.

Seeing that Mu Chenfeng didn't speak, Ling'er turned her head and said to Ning Yiheng: "It's better for me to help the prince, if you marry the Prime Minister and become the emperor in the future, don't forget the little brother." After a pause, he added: "It's just that the prince has a concubine, right?" Although she has been with King Heng for a long time, she has never heard him mention the affairs of the palace, and she really doesn't know how many concubines she has.

Mu Chenfeng was amused by Ling'er at this time, and said, "The prince doesn't even have a concubine, let alone a concubine." ”

Ling'er looked at King Heng in surprise, and said in her heart, "This King Heng is almost twenty years old, don't be this person, what's wrong with it?" ”

Ning Yiheng looked at Ling'er with interest, this little person didn't know how much effort he had, and he didn't feel bored even if he didn't talk with her. Seeing that Ling'er looked at herself without speaking, she only said that she was surprised that she didn't have a concubine, where did she think of anything else, and said indifferently: "Second Miss can also consider this king." ”

Ling'er didn't expect King Heng to say this, but Ning Yiheng said it casually, and only smiled and said: "If you really can't get married one day, and the prince hasn't married a wife, you can really consider it." After speaking, he sighed infinitely in his heart, "Such a handsome guy, it is rare that he is not as buoyant as an ordinary son, if he can marry him, he will cultivate it for several lifetimes." ”

Ning Yiheng's eyes were deep, and he said indifferently: "Second Miss is it serious? ”

Ling'er was stunned for a while, and then looked at King Heng's eyes, and he was panicked in his heart, but after all, he was not in the state of mind of a fifteen-year-old in this life, and he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Really! ”
